In reply to Angela. Hello. If you want coconut flavor, use coconut oil instead of ghee. I use maple syrup because it is my sweetener of choice. I don't use regular sugar in my baking. And coconut sugar doesn't bake up the way that I like sometimes.you could experiment with adding sugar. I can't guarantee what it will do for the texture. :)

I made this cake and the texture was great. I was expecting a coconut flavor, I added some coconut
extract, but the ghee overpowered and I did not taste any coconut at all.How do you get the nice coconut flavour? I also used maple syrup and it is not sweet at all. Can I use sugar in this recipe? Why did you not use sugar? I think with a little more sweetness I think it would improve a lot. It was my first attempt at using coconut flour. Thanks,

Easy to make and it really tastes great. I topped it with fresh strawberries and a bit of whipped cream. Yum!

We love the recipe! I doubled all the measurements. Used coco sugar instead of Maple or Honey. Freshly squeezed coco milk. and its so yummy!

In reply to Stephanie. I have not tried that. I would add the fruit on top of the cake. The fruit can make the cake soggy. I would add some coconut whip cream (or regular whipped cream) on top of the cake and then whatever fruit or berries on top. This cake tastes lovely with a layer of jam and whipped cream on top as well.

In reply to sharon. Could you add fruit into the batter, like strawberries or apples? If yes, how much? I am not a baker and need to figure out a birthday cake for my daughter who was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s. Thank you!

I love this – its my go to low carb treat. I just wanted to say that I separated all the eggs last time I made it so whisked 5 egg whites. I added a little more coconut cream with the egg yolks to loosen the batter a bit but it came out really light and risen. Incidentally I use runny honey to sweeten – not keen on artificial sweeteners ( though only half the recipe amount – I don’t have a madly sweet tooth.). I cut into 12 and freeze. Top with crunchy peanut butter to serve. Thank you.
